The 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care introduce significant updates, including a focus on on-scene resuscitation, cautious use of mechanical CPR devices, and prioritizing IV over IO access. While these changes aim to improve outcomes, they’ve sparked debate among seasoned paramedics like Jimmy Apple, the “EMS Avenger,” who highlights the challenges of implementation.

• Mechanical CPR Devices: AHA advises against routine use, but paramedics argue they’re essential for small or rural teams.

• Cultural Shift: Training crews for compassionate death notifications and clear family communication.
